< Article. >QUOTE An Alabama cheerleading squad has lost two of its coaches after a pair of racist T-shirts appeared at an August practice. Ok. QUOTE a Ku Klux Klan shirt to a North Alabama Youth Football & Cheerleading League practice Ok, not racist itself, but promotes a racist, hate group. Very poor taste and judgment. QUOTE McCracken's friend, Brian McDowell, who is not a coach for the team, joined him at the practice sporting a "White Pride" shirt. Ok. Wait, what? How is that racist? Remove "White" and insert any other race, and it's immediately not racist. So it is official, if you're proud to be white, you're a racist. Posted by Malcolm on Aug. 26 2015,12:22
QUOTE the Tipton family iterated that the damage has already been done -- not to the parents, who completely fumbled the situation, but to the kids, who had to witness this racially-inflamed drama first-hand. "It's hard for a biracial child that is 4 and 5 to understand what racism is,” Kayleigh’s husband, Cody Tipton, said. “It just outrages me and a lot of other parents but no one will stand up to it because of the consequences their children will get." Go fuck yourself. Children got a pretty good idea what it's like to deal with selfish bullies that won't listen to reason. "I don't like you because you're black" is very straightforward and carries equal weight with, "I don't like you because your shoes are ugly," and any other number of examples. Racism requires part of your brain to stick around permanently in a toddler-like state. Posted by Alhazad on Aug. 26 2015,14:32
How dare you allow a child to be exposed the idea that someone may not like him for stupid reasons and that the world may not be a infinite conveyor belt of free gumdrops and unicorn jizz leading directly to his door.Why, don't you realize that by acknowledging it, you usurp the ability to paint the child's impression of society's response, which is a power that should only be afforded to college professors and tumblr? |
